ESL Pro League Season 19: Schedule, results, streams, and more

Season 19 of Counter-Strike’s ESL Pro League is upon us, with this edition the second since the launch of CS2. Featuring the same condensed mega-format as Season 18, you won’t go hungry watching the greatest players battle for big prizes.

This is the first event following the Major where champs Natus Vincere will appear, while fellow Copenhagen finalists FaZe Clan enter EPL S19 fresh off their win at IEM Chengdu. With the bulk of CS2‘s top 30 present, expect fireworks as they battle for a piece of Counter-Strike glory and a spot at the Lanxess Arena later this year.

Here’s everything you need to know about CS2 ESL Pro LeagueSeason 19.

ESL Pro League Season 19 CS2 format

ESL Pro League Season 19 features a massive 32 teams and 79 best-of-three series, with the ultimate winner walking away $170,000 USD richer. Importantly, the winner also joins Team Spirit and FaZe Clan at IEM Cologne, receiving a direct invite to the million-dollar event.

The 32 teams have been split into four groups of eight, where each will play through a triple-elimination bracket. Apart from the upper final where both teams qualify for the playoffs, three losses mean a team is eliminated. Two qualify from the upper bracket, one via the middle, and one from the lower bracket per group.

  • Upper bracket final winner: Quarterfinal seed
  • Upper bracket final loser: Round of 12 seed
  • Middle bracket final winner: Round of 12 seed
  • Lower bracket final winner: Round of 16 seed

When all is said and done, 16 teams will remain and be sorted into the playoffs. From there, it’s single elimination best-of-threes to the grand final, which is a best-of-five.
